Analysis

Initially, Senate Bill 179 aimed to overhaul Kentucky's Notary laws by enacting major portions of the Model Notary Act, including Article III provisions on electronic notarization. A subsequent amendment gutted these provisions from the bill.

In Kentucky, the amount of the required Notary bond varies by county.
